This blog is about learning how to coupon the Army Way. Since we have the Commissary at our disposal I want to SHOW you how you can save at the maximum capacity. It takes being creative and thrifty in order to get our money's worth these days and as Army spouses we are all about that!

***** I REWROTE THIS WORD FOR WORD FROM THE ADDENDUM THAT I RECEIVED FROM THE FORT BRAGG NORTH POST COMMISSARY ON FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 2012.

Here we go ladies, this is what I've been teaching for!!! Harris Teeters has their Super Double this week. What this means is that HT will double up to 20 coupons each day for you that are 1.99 or lower...meaning, 1.75 will double to 3.50.etc. GREAT time to use some of these awesome printable that we have been having lately :) Get your binder stocked, print print print because come Wednesday morning I will be in a different place loading my stockpile again. :) I CANNOT wait to see the preview soon !!!!! I am dying to get my hands on a paper preview.

Also, don't forget Military Tuesday at Walgreens, ask for your discount BEFORE they start ringing you up!!!!! Topped with great sales this week and coupons I can't wait to hear of your shopping trip.

I can shop like no other at the Commissaries however, right now I have a new love affair with Harris Teeter. I tried HT's last year a few times, was not impressed. They never have stock when you go in, even two hours after the first of a Super Doubles Sale. It was ridiculous to say the least. Then Triples came in March and I had to try it again. I did better but I went back four times to get what I wanted and still left disappointed. THEN, I went 30 min away to a different store and JACKPOT. Tonight I went again and I am loving every second of it. Not only can you get free items, which I did tonight, you can get a ton of things that you normally wouldn't be able to next to nothing with the right sale match ups and coupons. For example, the Gatorade was 10/10 and I had 1.00 off any Gatorade. FREE! Then diaper wipes were 3.29 each and I had .75 cent coupons that doubled to 1.50 then I had an EVIC coupon (HT store electronic coupon) that was. 50. My final cost for Pampers wipes ended up being 1.29 for the LARGE pack. I am up to 20 Wipes now I believe for my neice, Stephanie's stash. (**Disclaimer, I have a Great niece due in August and this Auntie is STOKED as we have had NO babies for 15 years!!) I have gotten them cheaper at the Commissary but not very often and to be able to use all of them, yes, I was happy. Right now, cereal is varying with EVICs from 60 cents a box to around 80 cents and I mean for Cheerios and Trix!!!! The good stuff. So all of that being said, think about Harris Teeter next time you are wanting to do match ups. I have a new blog I have been following and she's pretty right on. Her name is http://moolasavingmom.com/ and I happen to heart her. There are some other local ones I follow too but for now, I am loving me some moolasavingmom! Tonight by the way at HT I spent OOP $23.86 however I saved 47.93 which is a savings of 67%! Not too shabby for a night's work. :)

Coupon Lifeline

I am a 37 year old Army wife who just began the coupon adventure in June of 2005. I am an Army Veteran myself but after my husband being out of the Navy for over ten years wanted to go back in the military. So, here we go!
